- A Life of Pursuit

Questions for Further Study or Group Discussion:
- Read 1 Timothy 6:2b-19. What is Paul’s main concern? How can someone use “godliness” for personal gain (v. 5)?
- Why does Paul say “the love of money” is the root of all evil instead of “money is the root of all evil”? Why is this distinction so important?
- According to verse 11, what are we to flee? What are we to pursue? What do these look like practically in our lives?
- Why does Paul speak about the “good fight of the faith”? What is the “fight”? How does Paul instruct the rich to fight in verses 17-19?
- Paul seems to be on a tangent in verses 15 & 16. Why does he turn to praise of God in the middle of his warning and instruction?
Memory Verse of the Week:
1 Timothy 6:10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs. (ESV)
